It is simple:

-	You did use -restore, so you did like to _completely_ extract the
	current level 0 dump in a way that allows to extract a higher
	level dump later.

-	If you liked to extract just a single file or a sub tree, you are
	_definitely_ not in "restore" mode. Use the conventional "tar"
	cli in this case.
